The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether her Department is taking steps to help support independent election observation in Uganda before its next general election in 2026.

Answered by Chris Elmore

Our High Commission in Kampala will aim to conduct local observation of the election, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, including the Electoral Commission of Uganda. The UK also provides financial support to the African Union via the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa and to the Commonwealth Secretariat, which can support election observation.
